Currently, our greenhouse houses Coastal Star and Adriana, two delicious lettuce varieties.

Do you know your cabbages?

This is Savoy Cabbage.

Here is a fun fact for you about Savoy: it does not turn into mush when cooked. 😮 It has the same flavor and appearance as regular cabbage when cooked but retains a firm texture. Awesome!

There will be CORN at tomorrow's farmers' market, SLO in the Madonna Plaza from 8- 10:30.

Booyay, fist bump, high five, alright!!

Pok Choi transplants have made the move from the greenhouse to the field and they are looking good!

So here's a quandary: how to eat broccoli AND keep it interesting?

Have you ever tried Broccoli Bisque?

Want some added protein? You can make it creamy with blended cashews.

These gorgeous tomatoes will be making an appearance at tomorrow's farmers' market, SLO in the Madonna Plaza from 8-10:45am.

Hope to see you there!

Coastal Star Lettuce.
Coastal Star is a dark green, tall romaine. Sturdy heads with a firm rib down the center.

Red and Green Butter Lettuce. Hands down, in my humble opinion, the best lettuce ever.

 Black Summer Pok Choi, a type of Chinese cabbage.

Did you know there are two types of seeds? Monocot and Dicot.

How can you tell the difference? Basically, a dicot is a flowering plant with an embryo that bears two cotyledons (seed leaves).

Which one is Pok Choi? It is a dicot.

This is Spring Raab Rapini Broccoli.

Spring Raab doesn't grow like broccoli most people think of. It doesn't have a central head, but rather clusters of yellow buds. These buds along with tender green leaves are sauteed or used in salads for their rich, unique flavor.

We received nearly half an inch of rain! We are so grateful.

Unfortunately, the berries were unable to cope with the rainfall. Many of our berries succumbed to rot. All the berries in the furrows are discarded fruit (see photo). 

Therefore, we will be attending farmers' market with a scant 2 1/2 trays of berries. We are disappointed and hope you will understand. 

Red and Savoy Cabbage heads beginning to form!

Good ol' Kohlrabi looking purdy and ready for the picking! Look for it at upcoming markets.
